When receiving a new Poodle into your
possession you should follow these rules until the
Poodle is fully acclimated:
Always use a slip lead. Dog collars are made for
identification and can slip over a Poodle's head quite
easily in most cases because of the Poodle's narrow
scull. Slip leads will tighten and won't let your dog
get away from you. The old fashioned "choke chains" and
also the newer halter type "head apparatus" is a safer
choice for new dogs. Remember Control the head - "Control
the Dog"
Be sure to have a firm grip on your Poodle's leash
BEFORE opening your car door when transporting your new
Poodle from your car to your home. Better yet, drive
your car into your garage or a space that is surrounded
by a barrier so that in case your new Poodle does get
away from you he or she will not be in the open spaces
and lost.
More tomorrow.....
